The Trojan Aeneas flees Troy for Carthage, as the rise of Rome begins, in the opera "Les Troyens." With music written by Hector Berlioz, "Les Troyens" is his triumph, a grand opera running five hours. Francesca Zambello produces the Metropolitan Opera version, which comes to the big screen at noon Saturday at SUNY Sullivan, part of "The Met: Live in HD." Time and Space Limited, 434 Columbia St., Hudson, timeandspace.org, also will be showing the performance at noon Saturday.
